Removing a Serious Obstruction
Gently,

Dynamite and giant powder might answer
admirably to remove distractions from Hell
Gate in East River, New York, but explosive
measures in medication are ever attended
with disastrous consequences. For instance,
the bowels cannot be violently drenched with
safety, nor is there the slightest necessity for
so doing. On the contrary, it is most unwise.
None bat the purblind adherents of antiquated
theories in medicine advise or sanction such a
course. To weaken the intestines-the effect
of drastic purgation-is to compromise the
health of the entire system. With HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters, on the other hand, the bow
els are relaxed, not by a convulsiOn of nature

wrcnching or drenching. The liver and stOm-
ach,l as well as the bowels, are toned and bene-

APPROPRIATION FOR
 INSANE ASYLUMS.

Mayor Hewitt, of New York, Insists
 on the Full Amount of Two Hum
 dred Thousand Dollars Being ADs
 prOPriated.
 The recent revelations made by the World s reporter, Nellie By, who made tour of the city insane asylums on BlackwelIs Island, and who brought to light much cruelty, de- privatiOn of food and insuficiency of cloth ing, have mortified the city to such an extent that the action of Mayor Hewitt in appropri- ating the full amount asked for insane asy- lums became almost matter of course.
 That very decided reforms are to be made in the management of these asylums can no longer be doubted. With the increased ap- propriation, which will insure good food, plenty of clothing, proper nurses and physi- cians, and the adoption for use by all physi- cians of the great nerve remedy, Scotch Oats Essence, will make this certain. It has for long time been 8 patent fact to many people who are posted that if Scotch Oats Essence were used more largely by the people gene- rally there would be a smaller number of cases in our insane asy1ums; and further more, that its use in the insane asylums will very materially cut short the acute madness, the length of time detained, and hence the number of patients remaining in the asy- lums.
 Insane persons, whom it has taken months to cure heretofore, will be cured in a short time: individuals who have been raving ma niacs will be quieted in forty eight hours, and thousands of people throughout the great city of New York, who from overwork, over- strains, worry, anxiety and care, are now tren bling on the verge of insanity, will be saved the terrible experience of sojourn in an insane asylum, thing little to be desired, however good the food, however warm the or however kind the doctors-New York paper.

 The New Depot At Tin Bridge To Re
 enc of she Best On the Consolidated
 Road-A Formidable Rival of the
 Union Depot.
 Great interest is manifested by people at Cedar Hill and vicinity of the Tin bridge. All this interest has developed into curiosi- ty. The new depot of the Consolidated road is to be located at that point, and already the foundation for it has been laid, Redfeld & Sons of Orange having the contract. It has not yet been decided what kind of ma- terial will be used in the construction of the building, but it will be of either brick or stone. The Consolidated is building all it's depots now of these materials, and the old wooden structures are nearly done away with.
 In conversation with reporter yesterday Chief Engineer Fayette T. Curtis of the Con- solidated says "The station will be some
 what similar to the ones recently erected at Larchmont, Rye and Harrison on the New
 York division, but the plans will be slightly
 modified to accommodate the many con veniences which it will be possible to intro
 duce here but which would not be feasible
 at the other stations named. The dimen- sions of the depot cannot tell exactly, but it will be over a hundred feet in length, and half as wide, and will cost in the neighbor- hood of $10,O00. It will be one story in height, and as it will be situated on minia- ture steppe, above the surrounding country, its attractiveness will be increased wonder fully and it undoubtedly will be a building of which the company and the residents in that vicinity can justly be proud.
 ''The new depot will contain every accom- mediation that architects or builders can sug- gsst. The depot will be on high ground and so steps will be necessary leading to it from James street for pedestrians, but for those who come in carriages a driveway will be without a1ighting from the vehicle. It will be the handsomest in appointments of any depot along the line of the Consolidated road and will prove formidable rival of the Union depot in point of accommodation"

A Canny Millionaire.

A financial man of the Listeners ac- quaintance tells him some interesting stor- ies of venerable Boston capitalist, whose
 name, if published, would be "well-known
 and widely recognized "-as the interviewers
 of anonymous persons always say,-and
 which, for that very reason, will not be
 given here. The capitalist originated in a
 Massachusetts country district, where ideas
 of thrift are instilled into peoples minds in their ultimate New England minute- ness, and in this mans case the seeds of instruction in economy fell upon friendly ground. To what extent he improved up- on his education in that direction one story will illustrate. He once visited n dentist, who filed down tooth that had been giving him trouble. Not long after anoth- CT tooth began to give him pain in some | what the same way; Whereupon the cap italist went to 8 hardware store, bought @ cheap file, took it home and had his son-in- | law file long and patiently upon the tooth. But there is another story that illus- l trates perhaps even more strikingly the l old gentleman's thrift. He used to drive i his own carriage, 8 two-horse top-buggy. 1 One day. just before Thanksgiving, he drove I down to Faneuil Hall Market to bargain for
 and get his turkey for the frugal but tradi- 1 tional feast at his house. As he drove up 8 boy started out as if to offer to hold his team. At the the same moment he saw his cashier ar-
 irving, on foot.
 | FWell, Smith," said the capitalist to the cashier, "where are you going"
 "Going to market to get turkey for | Thanksgiving" said the cashier.
 "Yes? Well, I'll tell you what we'll 1 do. I know lem in here and if you'll hold my horses, think can go in and buy two turkeys so that they'll come cheaper to us | than if we bought them separately"
 "All right" said the cashier. He took up his station at the horses heads while l the old man went into the market. As he stood there, kicking his feet against 1 the curbstone to keep them warm. hor- rible suspicion came over him that his
 employer had no idea of buying two tur-
 keys, but had simply adopted the plan
 as ruse to get him to hold the horses and save the five cents compensation for holding the horsess The old man was gone for a long time, looking for bar l gain, doubt. After while he hove ! in sight through the door, and with but a | single turkey, done up in brown paper, under | his arm.
 ''No use, Smith," said he, 'I couldn't
 make it go. We can do just as we'll to buy on our own account. Seeia' that that was the case, thought probably you'd want to buy your turkey yourself"
 He got into the carriage and drove away, leaving the cashier the happy conscious ! ness that he had, at the sacrifice of his time and comfort, saved millionaire five cents.

ANOTHER GAME LOST.

The NEerIdens succumb to the Hart. fords-The Two Teams Now Tied for Second PIace-Other Notes.
 It was expected that last night the Meriden people would see reform in the playing of < the home team, but they didn't. The team had been defeated in three successive games, and in the game last night the Meridens were put down as sure winners. Their opponents, the Hartfords, administered stinging defeat to them in their own rink. The Hartfords are playing with a rush that is astonishing everybody. The result of last nights game was u hard dose for the Meridens to swallow and tic dose was much more galling as they received goose egg. Score: Hartfords 5, Meridens o.
 Meriden did make one goal, but fouls took it away.
 This places the New Ravens three games in the lead.
 NOTES
 Tonight Meriden at Hartford and waterbr,y 7 at Bridgeport.
 Referee Wilder didn't fine Johnny Connors after all. He took it off after the game.
 The Watson who is on a team in the New Yorl, league is @ brother of Watson of the New Ravens.
 Manager Sands of Meriden is in Boston after an Meriden will get there.
 The New Ravens play the Waterburys here on Friday next. They have but one game out of town this week, which is in Hartford.
 Steve Brady sent out 500 invitations 10 prominent men in Brooklyn to attend the first polo game in New York and all were accepted. Polo is booming down that way
 Every team has beaten every other team except Waterbury and Bridgeport who have not beaten New Haven. That shows how evenly the teams are matched New Hayen's time is coming.-Meri- den Journal.
 Watson is doing some good work for the New Ha- vens at goal. He has made much improvement since he first played that position. He did not come here to play in that position. but as Boyle work is better than Boyle's is without question There is only one thing that Watson laeks-conh- dence. When he gets that he has full confidence in himself he will be one of the best goal tenders in the league.
 In conversation with COURIER reporter Hallett the handsome captain of the New Ravens, says polo will never be success scientific game until the rinks throughout the country have the skating surface. "For instance" " said he, 'supposing was third baseman of base ball club and in one city had to throw distance from first to third base 13O feet in another city 90 feet, and another 70 feet; this is the way with polo men. All the rinks have cannot judge at times where to place the bali or where it is goingh
 Secretary Macdonald has notified the referees that they must carry fouls to the deciding goal in case of tie. This was done on account of the decision given by Referee Perkins last week, when the New Ravens and Hartfords tied at the end of the forty minutes the time allowed for playing New Haven had two fouls, and before the deciding goal another foul was made, which in ordinary playing would have taken one goal away from the New HavenS' number. Referee Perkins said that the rules provided that in case of tie the game should be played until 2 goal was made by one of cision was wrong but it brought out good point nevertheless
